TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: p

Be it known that I, OBADIAH B. BROWN, of Mulden, in `the county ofMiddlesex, end State of Massachusetts, have invented a, new and improvedCleaner for Lamp-Chimneys; und I do hereby declare-the following to be afull and correct descriptionlof the same, reference being hud to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view ofmyimproved chimney-cleaner, und

Figure 2 is :L longitudinal central section, showing the mode ofattaching the handle.

The same letter marks the same part in both figures. i

I f the fingersfof the humenhand were long enough for the purpose, therewould perhaps be no better mode of cleaning the interior of a.lamp-chimney than by wrapping a piece of suitablecloth uroundthe lingerand rubbing the interior ofthe chimney with it. The lingers, however,not being suliieiently long to reach all parts of the interior of theordinary chimneys, my object in this invention is to supplyiu substitutethat shall have the requisite length, and resemble, as nearly .ispossible, in its action, tbepressure und movements of the naturallinger. With this view, I employ a piece of rubber tube, or n. solidrubber cylinder, flexible in `ell. directions, und yet sufficientlyVstili` to exert a proper pressure upon the surface of the glass.

The nature of my invention, therefore, consists in the use of a flexibleelastic tube or cylinder, :attached to a. suitable handle for thepurpose of applying u cloth or other proper' material to the interior oflump-chimneys to cleanse them. i i Y In the drawing, A marks `thehandle, and B the rubber tube or cylinder, attched to the handle in anyconvenient way. l i i l am aware that lump-cleaners have bet'oreV beenmede of rubber, and therefore I do not cla-im a. rubberlam'p-eleener'broadly g' but what I claim as. my invention, and desireto secure by Letters P etent, is

Alamp-chim'ney cleaner, consisting of :inelustie cylinder or tubeattachedto a handle, substantially in the manner described. i Y A, l iThe abovespecication of my s'aidinvention signed and witnessed etBoston, this 2lth duy'lof April, A. D. 1867.
